Hey all. A week ago my tank crashed and I lost our beloved flame angel. She ate like mad was so fat and loved to swim around the tank. Fast forward I bought a replacement that was in copper from a very reputable lfs. I usually copper myself. Anyway. This little guy is smaller and all he does all day is graze on the live rock. When I put food in. (Selcon diet of salmon shrimp scallop and clam) mixed with or mysis he doesn't even look at it. I noticed he will eat brine shrimp but that's not enough. Anyone have any tips on a good that may spark his interest. I also have omega one flakes and pellets plus seaweed extreme

I did just feed Calanus which I think is close which is copepods. He seemed to feed on some? I will feed that daily butt well right now as see what I can get him to feed on

I'm running into this issue with my Flame Angel. Ate fine for 3 weeks or so.... now she's only grazing on rocks for the last 6-7 days. Did you find a resolution?
